Any others are bad for Cambodia. So what kind of politician is he? By the way, how much does he know about his own country? Sam Rainsy enjoyed lif in France more than he had in Cambodia. Now, he wants to be the best Cambodian made in France. Today, he is enjoying life in France. > I also admire members of the opposition party who are out there > raising issues that are important to our nation whether it is about > human rights, corruption, or border issue.

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment because the culture itself prevents it from happening. They have no desire to unite for the interest of their nation. They only think about themselves and their followers. Any others are wrong. This mentality keeps querrels continue. That's Cambodia. > As purely an observer, I am completely agreeing with you that at some > point we have to stop fighting or it will be too late.

However, we unite when it comes to our national interest. That's why America is the greatest in the world. Sam Rainsy thinks that he is trying to do that. Actually, he is going in the opposite way. Sam Rainsy cannot compramise for the interest of his nation. He wants to fight for himself and his own way. > I still have hope.

They still call them Vietnamese puppets because that's not what they like. We see it before our own eyes. Cambodia has come a long way to where it is today. I am not a Hun Sen or CPP fan. However, I have to say that Cambodia today is a product created under the leadership of Hun Sen and CPP. If you agree that Cambodia is better now than it was 10 years ago, you are right. Many people in Cambodia thrive to make it better for their own country. Unfortunately, I see the cullture of impunity still exist. I still see the culture of corruption is still alive and well. These two elements have lead Cambodia to the worse darkest era of the country. Many people were in poverty. They trapped in it for a very long time. They passed it from one generation to another. That's why they killed so many people during the Khmer Rouge regime in revenge when they were elevated to the upper class. Cambodians have not dealt with that. Today, they are walking away from it again. There are many more people in poverty than there had ever been in Cambodia history. Social illness created utopia. Khmer Rouge was so resilient to captivated the moment to motivate people to help them win the war. They won so handedly when they got the booster from Norodom Sihanouk. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
